Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bacteriophage culture, in particular to a filtering and diluting device used for bacteriophage culture. Background Art

[0002] Bacteriophages are viruses that invade bacteria and are also genetic materials that give host bacteria biological traits. Bacteriophages must parasitize in living bacteria and have strict host specificity, which depends on the molecular structure and complementarity of the phage adsorption organs and the receptors on the surface of the receptor bacteria. Bacteriophages are the most common and widely distributed group of viruses. Bacteriophages can usually be found in places full of bacterial communities, such as soil and animal intestines. In terms of sterilization effect, the concentration of phages is also one of the important indicators. Therefore, during the research process, it is also necessary to appropriately dilute the concentration of phage culture solution to observe the sterilization effect of phages at different concentrations. If the concentration of phage culture solution is adjusted by chemical tools such as rubber-tipped droppers, it is necessary to observe the scale by naked eye to judge the volume of the added culture solution, so there may be a large error problem. Therefore, a more accurate dilution device is needed to dilute the phage culture solution.

[0019] The following will be combined with the attached Figures 1 to 7 The technical solution of the present invention is described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] The present invention provides a filter dilution device for phage culture by improvement, such as Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, it includes a mother liquid bin 1, a culture bin 2 and a feed bin 3, which are assembled in sequence from top to bottom; a hollow fixed feed bin 101 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the mother liquid bin 1, a filter hole 102 is opened in the lower half of the fixed feed bin 101, and an upper top plug 103 is movably arranged inside the fixed feed bin 101; a constant temperature bin 207 is arranged in the middle of the culture bin 2, a linkage ring 212 is rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the culture bin 2, and the linkage ring 212 consists of two parts: a vertical tooth part 213 at the top and a gear ring part 214 at the bottom; a plurality of rotating seats 216 are arranged on the inner wall of the culture bin 2, and a rotating shaft 217 penetrating the constant temperature bin 207 is movably installed on the rotating seat 216, and the rotating shaft 217 is movably installed on the rotating seat 216. A linkage bevel gear 218 meshing with the vertical tooth portion 213 is installed in the middle of 17; the end of the rotating shaft 217 is connected to an active swing arm 219 located in the constant temperature bin 207, and the end of the active swing arm 219 is movably connected to a driven swing arm 220, and a lifting seat 221 is movably connected between the driven swing arms 220; a diluent bin 222 is arranged around the top of the lifting seat 221, and a moving ejector rod 224 cooperating with the upper ejector plug 103 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the lifting seat 221; a hollow moving unloading column 231 is also arranged on the lifting seat 221, and a fixed ejector rod 301 cooperating with it is arranged on the top of the unloading bin 3. When the lifting seat 221 reciprocates up and down, the mother liquid can be automatically unloaded and diluted for culture.

[0021] In this embodiment: the filtering and diluting device for phage culture is mainly divided into three parts: mother liquid bin 1, culture bin 2 and lower feed bin 3. When the device is in use, firstly, phage mother liquid is added to mother liquid bin 1 through feeding port 107, and phage diluent is added to diluent bin 222 through liquid adding port 227. When the mother liquid needs to be diluted and filtered, the lifting motor 236 is started through control panel 202. When lifting motor 236 drives linkage ring 212 to rotate, the active swing arm 219 drives the driven swing arm 220 to rotate under the drive of linkage bevel gear 218. Since the active swing arm 219 and the driven swing arm 220 located on the corresponding sides of lifting seat 221 are symmetrically installed, lifting seat 221 drives dilution chamber 223 to reciprocate up and down in constant temperature bin 207. When lifting seat 221 drives moving push rod 224 to move upward, moving push rod 224 will squeeze the upper plug 103 upward. After being squeezed, the upper top plug 103 will move upward relative to the fixed material discharge column 101, and the mother liquid in the mother liquid bin 1 will fall into the dilution chamber 223 below through the filter hole 102. When the lifting seat 221 moves downward, the moving top rod 224 will be separated from the upper top plug 103, at which time the filter hole 102 is blocked and the mother liquid will not fall anymore, and then the diluent is added to the dilution chamber 223 in proportion through the pump 225. When the diluted mother liquid needs to be discharged, when the lifting seat 221 drives the moving material discharge column 231 to move downward, the fixed top rod 301 will squeeze the lower top plug 233 upward. After being squeezed, the lower top plug 233 will move upward relative to the moving material discharge column 231, so the diluent in the dilution chamber 223 will fall into the drawer bin 304 below through the first liquid discharge trough 232 and the second liquid discharge trough 302.

[0022] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 2 A positioning seat 203 cooperating with the mother liquid chamber 1 is arranged on the top of the culture chamber 2, an upper threaded portion 108 is opened on the bottom outer wall of the mother liquid chamber 1, and a lower threaded portion 204 is opened on the outer wall of the positioning seat 203; a threaded ring 205 is also sleeved on the outer wall of the positioning seat 203, and a plurality of groups of protrusions 206 are arranged on the outer wall of the threaded ring 205.

[0023] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the rapid disassembly and assembly of the device, the mother liquid tank 1 is designed as a split structure, and the mother liquid tank 1 can be quickly installed on the positioning seat 203 through the threaded ring 205. In order to facilitate the rotation of the threaded ring 205, multiple groups of raised parts 206 are designed.

[0024] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 2 The top of the upper plug 103 is connected to multiple sets of return springs 104, and the upper plug 103 is connected to the top of the fixed unloading column 101 through the return spring 104; a top cover 106 is installed on the top of the mother liquid bin 1, and a feeding port 107 is provided on the top cover 106.

[0025] In this embodiment: when the lifting seat 221 drives the moving top rod 224 to move upward, the moving top rod 224 will squeeze the upper top plug 103 upward. After being squeezed, the upper top plug 103 will move upward relative to the fixed material discharge column 101. Since the diameter of the moving top rod 224 is smaller than that of the upper top plug 103, the mother liquid in the mother liquid bin 1 will fall into the dilution chamber 223 below through the filter hole 102. When the lifting seat 221 moves downward, the moving top rod 224 is separated from the upper top plug 103. At this time, under the action of the return spring 104, the upper top plug 103 returns to its original position. At this time, the filter hole 102 is blocked and the mother liquid will not fall anymore.

[0026] See attached Figure 2 -Attached Figure 3 A mounting boss 210 is provided on the inner wall of the culture bin 2, a limit rail 211 is provided on the inner side of the mounting boss 210, and a T-shaped slot 215 matching with the linkage ring 212 is provided on the outer wall; a convex plate 235 is also provided on the inner wall of the culture bin 2, a lifting motor 236 is installed on the convex plate 235, and a driving gear 237 meshing with the gear ring part 214 is installed at the output end of the lifting motor 236.

[0027] In this embodiment, in order to install the linkage ring 212 and ensure that it is rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the culture chamber 2, a mutually matching limiting rail 211 and T-slot 215 structure are designed. In order to automatically drive the linkage ring 212 to rotate, thereby realizing automatic unloading of the mother liquid and discharge of the diluent, a lifting motor 236 structure is designed.

[0028] See attached Figure 2 -Attached Figure 3 A heating chamber 208 is provided inside the inner wall of the constant temperature bin 207 , and a plurality of heating tubes 209 are installed in the heating chamber 208 . A temperature sensor 303 located inside the constant temperature bin 207 is installed on the top of the lower bin 3 .

[0029] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the temperature in the constant temperature chamber 207 is maintained at a temperature suitable for phage culture, multiple groups of heating tubes 209 are arranged inside the constant temperature chamber 207. In order to monitor the temperature inside the constant temperature chamber 207 in real time and further control the operation of the heating tubes 209, a temperature sensor 303 structure is designed.

[0030] See attached Figure 6 -Attached Figure 7A dilution chamber 223 of the mother liquid is formed between the dilution liquid bins 222, a pump 225 is also installed on the dilution liquid bin 222, and a discharge pipe 226 facing the dilution chamber 223 is provided at the output end of the pump 225, and a liquid filling port 227 is also provided at the top of the dilution liquid bin 222; a plurality of stirring motors 229 are installed at the bottom of the lifting seat 221, and a stirring fan 230 located in the dilution chamber 223 is provided at the output end of the stirring motor 229.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the diluent in the diluent bin 222 is used up, the mother liquid bin 1 on the top can be removed first, and the diluent can be added therein through the liquid adding port 227. In order to ensure that the phage mother liquid and the diluent are mixed evenly, multiple groups of stirring fans 230 are designed.

[0032] See attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 7 A first liquid level sensor 105 is arranged at the bottom of the mother liquid bin 1, and a second liquid level sensor 228 is arranged at the bottom of the dilution liquid bin 222; a plurality of groups of supporting legs 201 are arranged on the outer wall of the culture bin 2, and a control panel 202 is also arranged on the outer wall of the culture bin 2.

[0033] In this embodiment: In order to accurately control the amount of mother liquid added and the dilution ratio, multiple sets of sensors are designed. When the phage mother liquid falls from the mother liquid tank 1 into the dilution chamber 223, the first liquid level sensor 105 can monitor the liquid level in the mother liquid tank 1 in real time. Driven by the pump 225, the diluent in the dilution liquid tank 222 will be added to the dilution chamber 223 in proportion, and the second liquid level sensor 228 can monitor the liquid level in the dilution liquid tank 222 in real time. In order to control the operation of the device, a control panel 202 structure is designed.

[0034] See attached Figure 2 -Attached Figure 4 A first liquid row groove 232 is provided in the lower half of the movable material discharge column 231, and a lower top plug 233 is movably arranged inside the movable material discharge column 231; a plurality of sets of return springs 234 are connected to the top of the lower top plug 233, and the lower top plug 233 is connected to the top of the movable material discharge column 231 through the return springs 234; the fixed top rod 301 is a hollow structure, and a second liquid row groove 302 cooperating with the first liquid row groove 232 is provided on the outer wall of the upper half of the fixed top rod 301.

[0035] In this embodiment: when the lifting seat 221 drives the moving material discharge column 231 to move downward, the fixed push rod 301 will press the lower push plug 233 upward. After being squeezed, the lower push plug 233 will move upward relative to the moving material discharge column 231. Since the fixed push rod 301 and the lower push plug 233 have the same diameter, the diluent in the dilution chamber 223 will pass through the first liquid row trough 232 and the second liquid row trough 302 and fall into the lower drawer 304. When the lifting seat 221 moves upward and separates from the fixed push rod 301, the lower push plug 233 returns to its original position under the action of the second return spring 234. At this time, the first liquid row trough 232 is blocked and the diluent will not fall.

[0036] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 2 The lower material bin 3 is internally provided with a drawer bin 304 located below the fixed top rod 301 , and a handle 305 is provided on the outer wall of the drawer bin 304 .

[0037] In this embodiment, when the phage mother solution is diluted, the diluent in the dilution chamber 223 will fall into the lower drawer 304 through the first and second liquid drain grooves 232 and 302. In order to facilitate the drawer, a handle 305 structure is designed.

[0038] See attached Figure 5 -Attached Figure 6 The active swing arm 219 and the driven swing arm 220 located on the corresponding two sides of the lifting seat 221 are symmetrically installed.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the linkage ring 212 rotates, in order to ensure that the lifting seat 221 rises and falls smoothly and avoids the occurrence of a jamming phenomenon, the active swing arm 219 and the driven swing arm 220 located on the corresponding sides of the lifting seat 221 are symmetrically installed.

[0040] Working principle of the present invention: When the device is in use, firstly, the phage mother liquid is added into the mother liquid bin 1 through the feeding port 107, and the phage diluent is added into the diluent bin 222 through the liquid feeding port 227. When the mother liquid needs to be diluted and filtered, the lifting motor 236 is started through the control panel 202. When the lifting motor 236 drives the linkage ring 212 to rotate, the active swing arm 219 drives the driven swing arm 220 to rotate under the drive of the linkage bevel gear 218. Since the active swing arm 219 and the driven swing arm 220 located on the corresponding sides of the lifting seat 221 are symmetrically installed, the lifting seat 221 drives the dilution chamber 223 to reciprocate up and down in the constant temperature bin 207. When the lifting seat 221 drives the moving push rod 224 to move upward, the moving push rod 224 will squeeze the upper plug 103 upward. After being squeezed, the upper top plug 103 will move upward relative to the fixed material discharge column 101, and the mother liquid in the mother liquid bin 1 will fall into the dilution chamber 223 below through the filter hole 102. When the lifting seat 221 moves downward, the moving top rod 224 will be separated from the upper top plug 103, at which time the filter hole 102 is blocked and the mother liquid will not fall anymore, and then the diluent is added to the dilution chamber 223 in proportion through the pump 225. When the diluted mother liquid needs to be discharged, when the lifting seat 221 drives the moving material discharge column 231 to move downward, the fixed top rod 301 will squeeze the lower top plug 233 upward. After being squeezed, the lower top plug 233 will move upward relative to the moving material discharge column 231, so the diluent in the dilution chamber 223 will fall into the drawer bin 304 below through the first liquid discharge trough 232 and the second liquid discharge trough 302.

[0041] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and inventive features disclosed herein.
